Bab 239: Awakener Association Headquaters

"Yeah."

"Hurray!"

Jack jumped, overjoyed.

"This means we will finish this trial! Nobody is planning to save the Sphinx, but Sphinx exists in the future. It has to be because we rescued it!"

He was happy until he noticed Neo's expression.

"Why are you frowning?"

"This isn't good news. It's very bad news."

"Huh, how?"

"Because the future can be changed, obviously," Neo started to explain.

"Think about it. If saving the Sphinx was guaranteed, would Shadow Supreme choose it as a trial for us?

"Also, there is no guarantee we won't fail and someone else in the future won't get the same trial and save the Sphinx.

"Hell, even the people here could save the Sphinx. I did say they might not save the Sphinx, but there is always a 'what if.'"

Jack's expression crumpled when he listened to Neo.

Sadly for him, Neo wasn't done.
